Single spokePOV cycles leds then 3 light up... and thats it

Post by Blacktunagang »

Sensor doesn't seem to be doing any thing when waved past magnet. 2 Leds light on one side and 1 on the other after putting in batteries. The lights that stay on are the same as addressed in a previous post by feinberj, but I only have the one so I imagine its not the trace that needs cutting...

you seem to get 3 lights when you press the reset button. It doesn't seem to be a problem.
Are you waving the red line side of the magnet facing the sensor?
Have you got the sensor soldered in the right way around?

Usual question past that is post a good quality photo for someone here to take a look at and see if there are any mistakes on the boards.

I was using the wrong side of the magnet. Thanks, I feel a bit silly.

no worries, hey, at least it was something very simple. Imagine if you'd put a chip in back to front or something :S that would have been a mess to sort out!
